Can Carry the Pacific States.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-ThOmas l..
Thompson, who will be one of the two Dem
ocratic members of the California delega-
ton in the Fiftieth Congress, is in the city.
Mr.. Thompson is by profession a newaspa-
per man. He Is one of the clevereSt poll
ticians on the Pacific coast. He had just
completed four years term as Secretary
of State of California when elected to
succeed Barclay Henley. He is a
pronounced Cleveland man and believes
that gentleman can carry the Pacific States
if renOminatsd in lSSS. Mr.. Thompson
belongs to a family that have been promi-
nent in State and Federal politics for near
ly quarter of a century. His father rep
resented one OF the Virginia districts in
Congress away back in the forties. 1t is
a little singular that the whig candidate
opposed to the elder Thompson in that
contest was William McCOmas, whose son,
Louis f. McCOmaS, will SIT in the next
Congress as the only Republican member
of the Maryland delegation.

and begins with an expression Of Joy At
the admirable manifestation in America
of faith and OF affection towards the Apoa

University has been commended from ~
inception.
The Pope alludes 10 the attributes Of the
church as n promoter of knowledge. 'Our

~ striyen for revival Of learning and have
devoted special attention 10 the restoration

honor of the teachings 0i Aquinas, with The
idea that In the cultivation Of these i'm
portant studies full account should be
taken OF the results Of the industry az
learned men attained In recent times In
order that n system Of philosophy might
be shaped according 10 the noble wisdom
Of the ancients, and that we might walk
with docile zeal in the footstepsof the an-
gelic doctor.
"The importance Of this II manifested by
the dangers 10 which youth are exposed In
Europe, and American bishops are aware
Of its Importance In their country"
WARNED AGAINST DANGEROUS THEORIES.
The Pope dwelIs npon the Iicenss OF

notions concerning divine and human
things have given rise on both continents
~ the source of unbridled opinions dan

sent to the Secretary of the Interior let

Guilford Miller, settler, and the North

the question of ownership Of certain lands.
After reviewing tn. matter at length, he
says: "Our public domain is our national

Special TSleQrdR 10 he Register:
CHARLESTON, W. Va, April 27.-The
House Committee on Railroads met this
afternoon to hear further arguments on
the railroad restriction bill.
The Governor occupied their attention in
advocacy of the bill. During thesession the
Governor stated that he had not intended
speaking on the bill, although fully alive
to its great importance to the people and
heartily in favor of its adoption, and would
not do so were it not for the personal at
tacks made on him. He ridiculed the idea
of the great trunk lines caring for the de-
velopement of the State. He claimed
in answer TO the state
meHt that railroad companies
had never charged as much as the statnets
allow them that it was because such fixed
rates were so high and would admit Of no
shipments urging that, therefore, it was
only an argument in favor of bill regulat-
ing and specifically providing He referred
further to the small penalties attached
where railroads overstepped the present
law. He asked if the law was such amOn-
slrosity why it was that twenty-siX States
and Congress itself had adopted the meas
ure, holding that certainly these legisla-
tive proceedings were not all OF "a
detrimental character. He held that the
reason of West Virginia's undevelOpment
was the determinations made 10y these
great trunk lines TO the people of the State,
grinding them down at such high rates as
weuld not permit of their dong any ship
ping business. He spoke of the forests Of
West Virginia, twO-thirds of the State be-
ing forest land, with more hard wood than
any other ten States combined, and vigOr-
ously entered protest against railroad COM
pauies eating this wealth up by exOrbitant
charges. why" he asked, do they, in
their tariff, charge more for hauling ton
Oc oak than ton pine, " making the point
that they have no right to charge rs to the
value of the article hauled, but for their
labor as q common carrier.
The bill provided for reasonable freight
rates aud certainly, he thought, the power
of making the rates should not he left to
the companies. He gave it as his opinion
that were every railroad in the State pro-
ceeded against by writs of qWo rdrraatO,
every one of them would be compelled to
forfeit theiT charter for misusing and abus-
ing their power.
lie claimed the railroads were arrayed
against West Virginia, and cited States
more sparsely settled that were doing bet
ter than they ever did now that the Inter
State law was in effect. He called atten-
tiOn to the fact how favOrably impressed
West Nirginians were when the National
Interstate bill was passed and raised the
inquiry that if it was right, wherein was
it wrong within the limits of the State TO
charge lower for shorter than a longer
haul? He cared little, he said, who ap-
pointed the commission, all he wanted was
the righting of this great wrong, the hold
ingin check of this system of eXtortion Oh
the people.
The committee meets tomorrow at 9
o'clock.

GEORGE MEN RETALIATE.
The Catholic Newspaper Boycott-A State
Inent from the Archbishop.


NEW YORK, April 27.-The threatened
boycott Of the Catholic Herald by Arch
bishop Corrigan has led to retaliation on
the part Of many newsdealers, who are
now boycottiDg the Tablet, a Catholic news
paper published in this city with the inn
primature Of the Archbishop.
Last Sunday many of the small news
dealers received their usual number of
copies Of the Tablet and the Catholic Herald
to deliver to customers. To those accus-
toned to take the Tablet they sent marked
copies of the Catholic Herald with the letter
of Archbishop Corrigan and the editorial
thereon marked in blue pencil, with the
following written on the first page: "News
Company did not have Tablet"
A large number of 7dblets were return
ed. The GathOlie Rerieir, another paper
which has the sanction of the Bishop OF
Brooklyn, and to which the Rev. Father
Braun, OF Washington Heights, and Others
have contributed articles against the posi-
ton of Dr. McGlynn and the doctrines of
Henry George, is also ON the list. The
George newsdealers are firm in their boy
eott and intend TO pursue it to the bitter
end. -.
1t is more than probable that the forth
coming statement from the Archbishop
will contain asweeping denunciation of the
land question, compiled principally from
st. Thomas, the canon law and the phil
OsOphy Taught by the Catholic Church.
This statement is deemed necessary owing
to the many attacks on the position of the
Archbishop in many of the daily papers.
The statement will also contain some un-
published features of the McGlynn case, an
explanation of the true position of the
church towards the Knights of Labor, and
will be a most able document.
The cable dispatch from Rome, printed
yesterday, 10 the effect that DIR. McGlynn
was to be suspended from his pastoral
functions, is characterized by the Doctor
as nOnsenslcal. He says he has already
been suspended by Archbisop Corrigan,
and the Pope cannot cut off his head
again. His case is not before the Propa-
ganda, the Doctor says. nor the Vatican.
He has not appealed from the Archbishop's
Judgment, and the only communication he
has had with Rome has been through a
friend of his there. lie does not expect to
go to Rome in the present circumstances,
but il asked to 90 by the proper authorities
he would do so. But he will never 80 as

As TO his future life DR.. McGlynn says
he will spend it in preaching the father
hood of God and the brotherhood of man.
He has not and will not accept remunera-
tiOn for his services. All the receipts from
his lectures will be devoted to the poor and
needy. The doctor has enough to live on
for couple OF years, and when that is
gone he will work with his hands for the
necessities of life

Special Ttsegrum 10 tie Register.
SIsTERsvILLE, w. Va, April N.-The
Republican County Convention, called for
the purpose of nominating q County Super
intendent Of Free Schools, last Saturday,
was unusually interesting. in view Of the
present Senatorial question, and generally
from a Democratic standpoint II seems
that there had been n preconcerted ar
rangement between ex-senator Anthony
Smith, who was defeated by Hon. John
Sweeney last fall, and his sore-bead bat
tallion, consisting Of pedagogue named
Smith, and shoemaker named Shepherd.
This was the crew that proposed 10 anni-
hilate Mr.. Camden in one round, but, un-
fortunately for them, failed utterly. The
convention was called TO order, and the
crowd named Anthony Smith rs chairman.
Mr.. Pyle was then nominated by accla-
nation for County Superintendent he
having no opposition. This being nicely
the brethren then endeav-
ored to proceed TO carry out the remainder
of the programme, and quite string Of
resolutions were offered condemning Goal
OIL" tBoodle," andspraising Senator
Bond and Delegate Silas Smith for their
course, and instructing them TO never,
never vote for Democrat for Senator.
This last break brought the respectable
element 10 their feet, and Hon. W.P. Bore
man, brother Of Governor Boreman, de
nounced the resolution rs uncalled for.
He said he believed that Republican had
q right TO Use his vote in preference for the
selection OF Senator from the tariff stand
point, and said the charges OF Coal Oil"
"Boodle," were childish, and that If they
knew of any corruption why did they not
place the matter before the grand jury?
This brought various members Of the crowd
TO their feet, and vocilerous outcry and
eccentric geSticulation reigned supreme.
The vote 20 table the resolutions was
then made by Hon. W. i. Boremau, and
ex-Delegate Hartman, member of the Re-
publican Congressional Committee, X. 5.
Boreman, editor of the Star, and prosecnt-
ing attorney, and other prominent gentle
men spoke in favor of Mr.. Boreman's
motion, they being answered by the great
triangular gang, and a vote was then taken
and they were knocked out fat. They
tried TO bulldozing and voting twice each
man, but had 10 withdraw the resolutions
to their disgust and dissatisfaction.
Ii was memorable occasion and plainly
indicated that not only the Democrats of
Tyler wish the election Of Mr.. Camden,
hut also the better element of Republicans.
Messrs. Boreman and Hardman are gentle
men of intelligence aud position aud their
words have effect. Anthony Smith be-
longed to the Pres. Morris faction in the
and the past events have in
dicated that the solid Republicans OF
Tyler have no further use for them.
